Cal is an idiot plain and simple. I don’t care what the pumpers say. He sat and watched as we WALKED it up with 9 seconds and looked lost. So sick of that man on our sideline.

DOWN 1 with 9 seconds and he lets us walk it up and jack a forced 3. ABSOLUTELY STUPID!

Cals done after the season. He mentally checked out. We have guys jumping on defense left and right falling for pump fakes. Shoulda fouled them we knew they were going for three. Then to top it off not time out. He just coached that game like a guy who is finished. Waited 2 minutes to put Richards in to stop the onslaught in the lane.

It's what it is with Cal, A-level recruiter, C-level in game coach. Everybody knows this. It's not a coincidence we keep losing these down to the wire games year in and year out. I'm just sick of the pumpers who call you a UL fan if you dare question King Cal...

Not calling a timeout at the end is the smallest of our issues right now. If we want to be a contender, we should play like one. That means blowing out teams like Seton Hall. We looked like NIT today. That concerns me more than any time out silliness

The defensive possession bothers me jut as much as not taking the timeout.

You play it straight up and don’t leave your man to double. If they beat you 1 on 1 then so be it. It’s a tie game with the ball woth 10-14 seconds left.

Instead, we doubled and got out of position, scrambled, flew by shooters.. and gave up the 1 thing you couldn’t give up.

I don’t agree with the idiot remark but he is completely apathetic and isn’t giving much effort coaching. Time for him to do something else if he’s not there mentally

I’m getting so damn tired of watching guys that think they’re better than what they are! This team lacks heart, organization, and discipline yet they want to thump their chests and flex on everyone. Hate this ****!
Not sure you know much about basketball if you think this team lacks heart. Guy got hot and was shooting out of his mind from 3 with good defensive pressure on him on most all of them. It is what it is. This was a good game to play for UK. Tournament environment, close game. Some players grew up today. And guys were playing with heart all game.

Not a bad coaching job. Herro took a rushed shot at the end of regulation that was a freshman mistake. We should have held for the shot clock, got a drive, and then would have had 8-9 seconds for a rebound put back situation. That gave Seton Hall the ability to get that take-the-lead shot in regulation they wouldn’t have otherwise had. Freshman mistake we will grow out of. This was a good game for us.

I just don't get the reason why he didnt' take a TO.
Perhaps Cal thought Seton Hall would benefit more from the timeout? Which means he thinks the opposing coach would have done a better job preparing his team in the timeout.

Or, and this is reaching, not calling the timeout puts the failure on the players rather than himself.

What's maddening is that Cal has been talking so much about how he needs to help them. Well bud, you did not help them there.

Hey let's start like 8 threads and we can all go thread to thread and bash Cal saying the same thing. Losses suck but its December.
